My name is Olive Page I am going to talk about topic of wearing hosiery with open-toed shoes. Well it used to be a serious fashion faux pas, then hosiery went to having an open section for your toes to peek out, but then if you did not choose the right color your legs might be brown and you have white toes sticking out, which even drew more attention to the fact that you are wearing hose with open-toed shoes. But now shoes have gone they have they have kind of created their own identity especially for the trends, reports, and projections for two-thousand ten. They have long pink leather tassels on them, they have beads, they have the heals are changing, and a lot of them are open, they are lace. A lot of the shoes encompass your entire foot and a lot of them leave out your toe. And all over at the the cat walk the runways that are happen even the previews that are coming out that has not even made it to the runway yet, there are toes in a in in hose showing. So it may be something that you are not use to seeing in your area but wearing hose with open-toed shoes is perfectly acceptable now. One way to do it if you are not completely feeling okay about it if you are not used to the style and you kind of want to try it out maybe stick to something monochromatic, you know wear your dark shoes with your dark hose and then you wont feel like you are breaking such a rule, or if you are in an area that is maybe not on the cutting edge but you want to use this style that is a way that you can be on the cutting edge yourself and not have someone kind of call you out on it or ask you questions or say anything about it because this style of wearing hose with open-toed shoes is perfectly acceptable now. If you are wearing hose with your open-toed shoes the only thing that I would really steer clear of is doing something so loud that everyone is looking at your legs and not your outfit. Also if you have curvy legs and it is not something that you really want to highlight you probably want to stay away from the colors. All the hose have gone just as crazy as the shoes have, there is stripes, there is poke-a-dots, there is textures, there is patterns, some of the hose just have something on the back of the them. You know and it is not a line like the fifties like it is actual patterns, so you want to think about how that is going to look on on your leg on your shape you know if you have got really muscular calves and its got a crazy pattern maybe instead of using your own size maybe go up a size, then it wont stretch as much, and then it wont highlight those areas that that you do not want to highlight.
